In the Bible "all scripture is given by inspiration from God AND is to be used for doctrine" 2 Tim 3:16.
Heb 5 and 6 point to the basics of "the Gospel" as the milk. And then the advanced topics presented by Paul in Heb 7,8,9,10 as "the meat".
Bible details matter.
then we agree on something.
Nice.
Agreed - and Heb 6 details what those gospel "basics" are --
The "milk" is:
"Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and about the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do, if God permits"
But the meat is this - the work of Christ as high priest in heaven as detailed in Heb 7,8,9,10
Paul is doing that very thing - moving on from the milk topics to the meat topics in the book of Hebrews. We can stay in the book, in context and follow the point as written in the letter to the Hebrews. It's all right there.
Without a new heart that would be quite impossible to follow. But with God all things are possible. Should He be willing.moving on from the milk topics to the meat topics in the book of Hebrews. We can stay in the book, in context and follow the point as written in the letter to the Hebrews. It's all right there.
